About this artwork
I created this work during the protests in May and June. I wanted to showcase a world flipped upside down, but still recognizable; a world where everything was out in the open. I chose a desert. An ecosystem so vast, expansive that takes in the screams of the sun. Similar to the dystopian ecosystems that we are all bearing witness too. In spite of the heat of this moment and what’s felt in this work at first glance, I wanted to showcase pollination,… fertilization that leads to new life. The potential for new life is always present where it seems as if life doesn’t exist. Brave worker Bees hover over a burning cactus simultaneously underscoring looting and rioting and still bringing forth work that needs to be completed. Thank you essential workers. The hummingbird, is a creature so small, but powerful, being able to consume up to two times its body weight in water per day. It carries this load well.
My name is Eilen Itzel Mena and I am an Afro-Dominican American artist and writer from the South Bronx currently based in London, UK. In 2017 I was awarded a BA in Fine Art from the USC Roski School of Art and Design. In June 2024 I received my MFA in Painting from the UCL Slade School of Fine Art. I have shown my work internationally and have also received various artist grants and awards for my practice. My visual arts practice is deeply rooted in documenting a femme afro-diasporic intersectional experience. I focus on depicting growth and transformation through an understanding of community, ancestry, purpose and the connection between the child self and the adult self. I am interested in investigating the way that folks in the African Diaspora are in pursuit of joy as well as their personal and communal purpose through using a variety of materials. I use painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, installation and performance as tools for the pursuit of joy.
